the story is strange and beautiful, but the main characters are all extremely flawed. there are also some aspects of misogyny and antisemitism that are unrelated to the plot, so i do warn you to be aware of the authors prejudices so you can critically read the story.wrensandroses's review against another edition

Surprisingly i didn't enjoy this book as expected. I get the metaphors and deep meanings of this book but it lost me somewhere in the middle part. Too much filler and the characters are horrible people. It's about a bunch of white, filthy-rich, toxic, misogynic, hypocritic, psychopathic men. Can't care less

I was hesitant because I’m not a horror reader, but this book did a good job of being gothic without having unnecessary gore or uncomfortable scenes.
The characters were so well done, especially Dorian.
I love how the message of the book is stated subtly at the beginning with Lord Henry saying the world needed a “new hedonism”. Then the plot gives Dorian that new hedonism, but he comes to realize that it doesn’t satisfy and only leaves him miserable.

Don't care about others opinion of Henry (Harry) but he's my favourite character.
